Pavement Treatments There are various pavement treatments in the industry.Each type of treatment has its differences in form, content, costs and benefits.

FAU Streets Streets are broken into three categories: Arterial, Collector and Residential. Arterial Streets are streets are high capacity urban roads that connect to freeways and urban centers. Collector Streets are low to moderate capacity streets that move traffic from residential areas to Arterial Streets. The third category of streets is Residential. Arterial and Collector Streets are designated as FAU, or "Federal Aid Urban" streets, and federal funding may only be used on those streets.

Fact Sheet This sheet provides a summary of the City's street conditions.

Every year, Californians generate approximately 40million scrap tires. In an effort to help divert a portion of those tires from stockpiling in landfills, the City of Oaklandwill do its part by using recycled tires in this street resurfacing project. The benefits of incorporating recycled tires into our paving projects include less maintenance, quieter roads, and better contrast between the pavement and road stripings, thereby improving pedestrian, bicyclist, and vehicle safety.The City of Oakland received a grant from the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to utilize recycled rubber tires to assist in the completion of the overlay portion of this project. It is anticipated that over 5,000 tires will be recycled as a result of this project, therefore saving those tires from going to landfills as waste.
